[QUOTE="peacetrain, post: 603555, member: 96747"] I pondered that but then thought I may be seen as a know it all or trouble maker. One of the DNs running the course was interested in myfitnesspal when I last saw her so she may mention that. If the practice had looked at the data and selected those with a good success rate, perhaps they could have invited those people to share their stories. I would see this as proactive and it would help others to have the confidence to try to get off the medication, if that's a possibility. Also to lose weight. I would jump at organising a walking group. I prefer to walk alone but I would be willing to organise people initially, until they were used to the routine and found their confidence to either walk alone or form their own little friendship groups. I remember my DN saying I was rare in the practice and most think the medication is a passport to eating anything. I think the message needs to be more forceful and if the practice can get people who are managing successfully to meet others, then that surely would help. We all contribute to the NHS and benefit and it would be nice to put something of ourselves back in.
